Matthew 25:1-10

[1] Then  shall the kingdom  of heaven  be likened  unto ten  virgins,  which  took  lamps,  and went forth  the bridegroom.  [2] And  five  of  them  wise,  and  five  were foolish.  [3] that were foolish  took  their  lamps,  and took  no  oil  with  them:  [4] But  the wise  took  oil  in  vessels  with  lamps.  [5] While  the bridegroom  tarried,  they all  slumbered  and  slept.  [6] And  at midnight  there was a cry  made,  Behold,  the bridegroom  go ye out  to  meet  him.  [7] Then  all  those  virgins  arose,  and  trimmed  lamps.  [8] And  the foolish  said  unto the wise,  Give  of  oil;  for  lamps  are gone out.  [9] But  the wise  answered,  saying,  Not so; lest  not  enough  and  but  go ye  rather  to them  that sell,  and  buy  for yourselves.  [10] And  while they  went  to buy,  the bridegroom  came;  and  they that were ready  went in  with  him  to  the marriage:  and  the door  was shut.
